I like things dark. I wish they'd just do away with it, but keep it at the time when you have less light. That'd suit me.

If it weren't for my wonderful wife and kids, that'd be where I live, I swear it. Maybe someday I'll be a grumpy old man there or something.

Which is nonsense anyway, because people will still use energy regardless of what the clock says
